Hitman: Agent Jun

In a bustling metropolis where neon billboards glare over cramped construction sites, Jun balances two worlds that could never coexist. By day he swings a hammer and sketches panels for a webtoon, dreaming of brighter panels and a future where his family finally steps out of the shadows of obscurity. By night, memories of elite training and covert missions flicker in his mind, a past he deliberately erased by faking his own death. The city’s rhythm—its endless grind, its murmuring rumors—creates a backdrop that feels both ordinary and charged with the echo of secrets.

The tone of the film walks a fine line between gritty realism and stylized intrigue, mixing the tactile grind of manual labor with the vivid imagination of a comic‑book creator. Jun’s art becomes an unexpected conduit, turning personal frustration into a story that resonates with a wide audience, yet the very success of his sketches pulls hidden threads of his former life into the public eye. The mood shifts from quiet, reflective moments in his modest apartment to the electric pulse of a city that never sleeps, hinting at unseen forces watching from the periphery.

As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Jun finds himself thrust back toward the skills he thought he’d left behind. The narrative teases a world of shadowy agencies, covert operations, and lingering loyalties, all while keeping the focus on Jun’s struggle to protect his newfound normalcy and the family that finally believes in his talent. The story invites curiosity about how a man once celebrated for lethal efficiency now navigates the delicate art of storytelling, and whether the past he buried can ever truly stay silent.
